<B>A fire has killed at least 55 people in the Moroccan city of Casablanca, state news agency MAP reports.</B>
</P><P>
Twelve others were seriously injured in the fire, which broke out on the ground floor of a mattress factory in the Hay Hassani district of the city.
</P><P>
More than 100 fire-fighters were sent to tackle the blaze, which spread rapidly because of the chemical products stored in the factory. 
</P><P>
The cause of the fire is unclear. An inquiry has been launched.
</P><P>
The fire was so intense that it took fire-fighters many hours to get inside, the BBC's James Copnall reports from Rabat.
</P><P>
According to a local radio report, it was impossible to open the doors, and holes had to be knocked through an adjoining building.
</P><P>
About 100 of the factory's 150 staff were believed to have been on site at the time.
